TAME VALLEY
WELSH MOUNTAIN PONIES

A brief history

Tame Valley Stud was established in 1971  after being left the remains of the Reddicap Stud and Chieveley Studs. Our foundation mare was Reddicap Bella Donna by Coed Coch Glyndwr. The start of the story is with REDDICAP BELLA DONNA 13188. 

Born in 1959 after the demise of her father Coed Coch Glyndwr.

I had shown in hand from a small child but was sent to Gordon Jones (Stud Groom Gredington Stud)  to be taught the tricks of the trade. My debut with a home bred filly was in 1973 at Northleach. The filly was Reddicap Veronica (daughter of BellaDonna) who won a large class on her first outing. Pictured below.

Another daughter of BellaDonna was Supreme Champion REDDICAP JUNO. Born 1963 and a prolific winning mare in the sixties.

That is the history of the stud that can be seen today, from Victoria we have her daughters Valetta, Vienna and Tara and grand-daughters Sarabande, Tamara and Thea and great grand daughters Taffeta, Thomasina.  Reddicap Juno's granddaughter Seren Dlws is still with us and her daughter Tame Valley Seren Arian.

Now with my husband we aim to breed ponies that will go on to lead useful lives in any field.
